A new Supe with the ability to shapeshift was introduced, though her name remains undisclosed. Fans are speculating about her identity.

In 'The Boys' Season 4, Episode 7, the shapeshifter introduced was only referred to as 'The Woman', with no name revealed.

Fans speculate she might be similar to Malchemical from 'The Boys' comics, but her transformation abilities differ significantly from Malchemical's.

The true identity remains uncertain, leaving viewers awaiting more clues in 'The Boys' Season 4, Episode 8.

This new character has revealed a distinctive shapeshifting ability in the latest developments: she must touch her target to assume their form, undergoing a dramatic physical transformation akin to shedding her skin like a cocoon.

Her apparent absorption of their memories is intriguing, demonstrated by her knowledge of the safe passcode at Hughie and Annie's home when she stole the laptop.

Beyond these revelations, details about her remain sparse, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating 'The Boys' Episode 8 for more insights into this enigmatic figure.
